1. Disconnect laptop from power cord
2. Take out battery
3. Hold power button for 30 seconds
4. Put battery back
5. Connect to power cord
6. You can see that the orange light is on
7. Press power button to boot up laptop

Nothing happened. I tried this for about 7-8 times with no luck. No lights were on. I think that motherboard is dead.

a. What is your opinion...

1. Difficulties booting can press the power button on an off multiple times and it won't boot. One thing that will get it to boot sometimes is to lower the lid/screen up and down and this seems to get it to boot, not all the time but sometimes.
2. If you can see in the screenshot the battery icon will have a white cross overlayed on top of it. Then the keyboard keys (except function...

http://forum.notebookreview.com/threads/reapplying-thermal-paste-for-cpu.803707/invalid@example.com (mwake)mwake
I have already cleaned the fans so it's not a dust issue. I believe that it could be the thermal paste issue. However, I was wondering if anyone has managed to successfully reapply thermal paste into their Toshiba laptop? I have only seen the odd YouTube video and have never done this but wondering if the average man like me...

so I was replacing the thermal paste on the GPU and CPU, but the fluid I used to remove the thermal compound also "cleaned" these foils and now they don't stick on the PCB.
Can't take a picture now, but it's on the integrated GPU die and on the MXM board, similar transparent foil as in this thread: https://techreport.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=93644

Can I use regular thin transparent tape or is this some special insulation tape ? What exactly is the name of it ?]]>1InsydeH20 BIOS Modding ZONETue, 12 Jun 2018 10:50:23 +0000http://forum.notebookreview.com/threads/insydeh20-bios-modding-zone.594618/

I have been asked several times to make some guides for InsydeH20 BIOS modifications/tweaks and other stuff . So today i started this topic and will show you everything i know about this annoying InsydeH20 BIOS .
I think it will take me some weeks to make for every modification a video/tutorial on Youtube.
However lets go....

When I inserted the pack, the Laptop/O/S didn't recognize that the pack was inserted. BUT, the Battery LED on the front shows flashing orange indicating a low voltage condition. I left it in for some time, but the charge circuit doesn't kick in. Either with the Laptop running or shut down.

I removed the pack & re-inserted more than once. I even put the original pack in, ran it down to a 5% charge level...

I'm a bit of a dinosaur, so the software I remember using (RMClock, largely) won't work in core i CPUs. I've been doing some reading and people tend to revert to Intel XTU for newer processors. The extent to which the XTU works with early generations of core i CPUs is apparently debatable, as is the extent to which the ability to play around with...

my pc does not turn on anymore ... I unmounted the motherboard and it seems that the problem is on 7811Av power that I found shorted. I tried to replace it but I did not solve it.
What can I do? Can I find a solution?

I am new here and have a certain problem with my Qosmio. Cant rely on Toshiba, the After Sales Service is Non-Existent in my country and their online contact is not responding.

Whenever I am using Balance or High Performance Mode when playing certain games (power consuming games?), it would turn off by itself. These games often wont even go past the menu screen. Example of the games: Skyrim, Fallout 4, Krater, Deadlight, The Forest and such games....
